in the playoff. They want to get the playoff set once and for all and not have to keep tweaking the playoff every 5 years or so.

Maybe an expanded playoff is really coming.

It will be challenging. Powers that be don't want a large playoff

The fact that Hancock acknowledged there is a working group,

I don’t get why the NCAA or schools would want more meaningless bowl games

They need more money; plus Clemson/Bama/OSU on repeat is completely boring

Exactly. Never fool yourself that this is for more inclusion. They are only

This is the real answer. Until they include a team from every

In the past two decades, any major change,

Like it. Not a fan of byes though. Just make it 16 like it should be and call it good.

The "fairest" system would be 16 teams w/ 10 conference champs and 6 at-large.

It will just end up a majority P5 tournament with maybe 1 or 2 G5 sprinkled in for "inclusion"

letthewookieewin

Probably should be. 12-16 at least gives smaller schools a chance at it though. Why I prefer 16 with no byes.

I just think it would be cool to see a small school make a run, like they do in march madness

letthewookieewin

4/28/21 9:04am

I doubt a single non-P5 will be included

2FarGone

4/28/21 9:07am

It "should" include all 10 confernce champs, but my guess is you are probably

jreid191

We need to get to at least 12 for me to feel like BYU has a shot to be included

mwcoug

4/28/21 8:53am

I wouldn't get your hopes up. It's going to be the P5 + ND that reaps the benefits

letthewookieewin

4/28/21 8:54am

Yep, they just want more P5 spots

2FarGone

4/28/21 9:06am

At 12, I feel like they would have to include a couple of G5 teams. I don't have

mwcoug

They will include *one* G5 auto-bid just to avoid legal issues, plus all P5 champs and 6 at-large bids

The article does a great job of why it’s more likely the CFB jumps to 12+ teams.

TempeCoug

4/28/21 8:57am

We need to be in the Big 12 for that to happen

2FarGone

4/28/21 9:03am

They could throw the G5 a bone and include at least one champ (like NY6 now).

rggee

4/28/21 9:25am

More likely they require all P5s to have at least 12 teams and two divisions

2FarGone

No one dictate to conferences how many teams they should have.

Everyman

Completely money driven. They desperately need more revenue.

What they all need to do is stop spending so much. They're out of control.

Turnpike Lane

4/28/21 9:09am

In reality, the exact opposite is probably about to happen.

Laughable to hear P5 folks talk about the 'unintended consequences' of the CFP, which were obvious to everybody else

Can't wait until we have a dream season and come in at 13 in the final rankings!
